Diffractive pQCD mechanism of exclusive production of $W^+ W^-$ pairs in proton-proton collisions
, 2012 We present a study of central exclusive production of $W^+W^-$ pairs in proton-proton collisions at the LHC. We compare the contribution of the $\gamma \gamma \to W^+ W^-$ mechanism with a new mechanism of exclusive diffractive production through the $gg

On the coupling of vector fields to the Gauss-Bonnet invariant
, 2015 Inflationary models including vector fields have attracted a great deal of attention over the past decade. Such an interest owes to the fact that they might contribute to, or even be fully responsible for, the curvature perturbation imprinted in the CMB.
